Do you have proof they are dead?

The debris found at the seafloor was “consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” the Coast Guard said.
All five people aboard the Titan submersible are believed to be dead, and debris discovered in the search area for the missing vessel was consistent with a "catastrophic implosion," the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The debris was found off the bow of the sunken Titanic, officials said.
The search for the Titan, which went missing Sunday after embarking on a mission to survey the wreckage of the Titanic, had been focused on an area where Canadian aircraft detected "underwater noises" Tuesday and again yesterday.
U.S. Coast Guard officials had estimated the five passengers could run out of air just before 7:10 a.m. ET today, and the location of the missing vessel had remained a mystery even as the search intensified.
Sonar buoys in search did not detect any implosion sounds Marlene Lenthang
It's not clear exactly when the Titan imploded, but Coast Guard officials said that sonar buoys dispatched "did not hear any signs of catastrophic failure."
"This was a catastrophic implosion of the vessel which would have generated a significant broadband sound down there that the sonar buoys would have picked up," First Coast Guard District commander Rear Adm. John Mauger said at a news conference today.
Sonar buoys had detected noises in the water Tuesday and Wednesday that were being assessed for patterns, but Mauger said Thursday "there doesn't appear to be any connection between the noises and the location [of the debris] on the sea floor."
Debris is consistent with a 'catastrophic implosion' of sub Marlene Lenthang
The debris found at the sea floor was "consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel," Rear Adm. John Mauger of the Coast Guard said.
When asked if it's possible the vessel collided with the Titanic, he said it was found off the bow of the Titanic.
Carl Hartsfield with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said the debris data is consistent with an implosion in the water column.
"It's in an area where there's not any debris of the Titanic, it is a smooth bottom. To my knowledge ... there's no Titanic wreckage in that area and again 200 plus meters from the bow, and consistent with the location of last communication for an implosion in the water column," he said.
Dawood's older sister feels like she's been 'caught in a really bad film'
Daniel Arkin
The older sister of Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood feels "absolutely heartbroken" that her brother and her 19-year-old nephew were aboard the Titan vessel.
"I feel very bad that the whole world has had to go through so much trauma, so much suspense," Azmeh Dawood said in a phone interview this afternoon, speaking from the home in Amsterdam she shares with her husband.
"I feel like I’ve been caught in a really bad film, with a countdown, but you didn’t know what you’re counting down to," she said, fighting back tears. "I personally have found it kind of difficult to breathe thinking of them."
Azmeh claimed that her nephew did not want to go on the submarine but agreed to take part in the expedition because it was important to his father, a lifelong Titanic obsessive. Suleman "wasn't very up for it" and "terrified," she claimed, explaining that the 19-year-old expressed his concerns to another family member.
"If you gave me a million dollars, I would not have gotten into the Titan," she said.
Tail cone of Titan found 1,600 feet from bow of the Titanic floor, Coast Guard says Marlene Lenthang
“This morning, an ROV from the vessel Horizon Arctic discovered the tailbone of the Titan submersible approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic on the sea floor," Rear Adm. John Mauger, said this afternoon.
Afterward, the ROV found additional debris and it was found to be consistent with the "the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber," he said.
The families of the five crew members on board were notified afterward.

“ my heart breaks for them- especially the boy”
He wasn’t a boy stop that nonsense
He was an adult Pakistani and probably grew bored playing with Lamborghinis from daddy.
Stop with the nonsense! His dad should be shot for taking him on this very sensible adventure! snark
At that depth the implosion would have happened so quickly their brains would not have had time to even process that.
Pressure has nothing to do with buoyancy. Only the difference between the weight of an object compared to an equal volume of water determine that.
With all the billions they had, why didn’t they just build their own sub?
“The Navy would not tell, nor would the Coast Guard ask............But, I can tell you they, the Navy, knew from the beginning it was gone. That’s why they dragged their feet to not send any ships of search equipment”
and i strongly suspect the U.S. Navy was able to pinpoint the location of the implosion sound and secretly alerted the head of the U.S. Coastguard where exactly to search, because all the “experts” were saying that the search area was so large that it would be essentially impossible to locate the Titan ...
Do you have proof they are dead?
I think the Bud Light implosion gives it a run for the money.
What would the point of dragging out the agony for the families be?
We don’t always know what’s going on behind the scenes:
* Papers served?
* New identities?
Let’s see the actual video before jumping to conclusions.
This.🤨
Slightly off topic, but I was on the sister ship of the USS Thresher (sunk and imploded on sea trials)—- USS Flasher SSN-613. Flasher was supposed to be the next boat out of the yards when Thresher went down. They had to retrofit with the addition of 3” emergency ballast blow lines and add an electric motor to provide propulsion in event of a steam plant shut down, among other changes(lack of both of these contributed to Threshers sinking). I was a bit apprehensive when we went out for a shakedown cruise after 2 years in the shipyard in Vallejo, CA.
were any of the supposed passengers in trouble
with the law?

Not trying to be mean, but they chose poorly. They could have been innovators, but instead went to Davy Jone’s Locker with Ronald McDonald in a Mayor McCheese submarine.
Sounds like the kid was filling in for some other billionaire who chickened out.
His aunt said he didn’t want to go and was scared.
Poof! - over in far, far less than the blink of an eye.
The Thresher disaster is the big headline from April 11th on the day I was born
Ever check the headlines from the day you were born?

I have not. Sounds like a fun thing to check out.
He’s the “visionary” who drives the technical staff white guys crazy by believing his ideas will work because he wants them to.
